THE shirt George Best wore during one of his most celebrated games is expected to raise £30,000.

Belfast's Manchester United legend wore the top during his historic six-goal demolition of Northampton Town in the 1970 FA Cup when the Red Devils won 8-1.

The signed and framed shirt is in immaculate condition and will be part of a huge football memorabilia auction at Christie's of London tomorrow.

The auctioneers believe Best's shirt will be the most valuable item, with the possible exception of the classic yellow shirt of the Brazil 1970 World Cup-winning team as worn by midfield dynamo Rivelino.

Matthew Paton, a spokesman for Christie's, said: "Obviously something as historic as a Brazil 1970 shirt is a must-have. Most fans still regard that side as giving the whole world a masterclass."

THE Sir Stanley Matthews Foundation is donating £3,000 to an East Belfast project to pay for Uefastandard soccer coaches.
